Kidde Edwards 74347U Outdoor Backbox Red

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 74347U is a red outdoor backbox designed to house and protect compatible fire alarm notification and detection devices in exterior or environmentally exposed installations. This enclosure provides a weather-resistant mounting solution for devices that require outdoor-rated protection. Licensed fire alarm technicians and security system installers typically work with this type of accessory during new construction or retrofit projects where devices must be mounted outside or in areas subject to moisture, dust, or temperature variation.

The 74347U is suited for commercial and industrial fire alarm system installations where outdoor-rated enclosures are required by code or project specifications. It serves as a backbox for surface-mounted devices in locations such as building exteriors, covered walkways, loading docks, and similar environments where standard indoor enclosures are not appropriate.
